REA increasing their BP and making other changes

If you consign through a high volume seller like Probstein, 4 Corners, Greg Morris, etc, they get completely different rates than the average guy. Check their rates on their websites. Generally anything over $1000 will net you 95%. And you get NONE of the hassle. I’ve had mostly good success through this route.
Full disclosure, I don’t work for any of them, just an impartial observation.

Would have zero problem selling with probstein in terms of the results he seems to get. My fear is I’ve heard you ship items to a place in Jersey, don’t really get communication from him about if they’re received and when they’re being put up. I tend to doubt this is true. Anyone who has actually used him?

I use him , frequently.
Never an issue with payment, and almost always get good results.
Contacted him one time about a mislabeled T206 back, and he personally called me to discuss options.
I really like the % you net selling with him and do not have to deal with the eBay azzhats!

I do think there might be an opportunity for ebay sellers to capitalize on this.

I'm watching inflation going on all around me with virtually everything I buy. I just constantly keep adjusting what I'm willing to pay, realizing the numbers across the board trend upwards. This is just another example.

Which is amusing as every time ebay does something that pisses off the rank and file we get consignments from people who are sick of Ebay.

Obviously you're talking about the power guys like Probstein, but Ebay is constantly abusing their smaller sellers, much to our benefit.

Rick Probstein, in a YouTube interview a year or two ago, mentioned something that stuck with me. His business model involves a slimmer margin than traditional auction houses; however, he makes up for this through high volume.

We've all seen this in other sectors. Wal-Mart comes immediately to mind. It worked for Sam Walton. Apparently, it also works for Rick Probstein.
